Description

Iran and Israel are caught in a cycle of revenge.On April Fools' Day, there was a huge escalation in the conflict when an Israeli air strike killed 16 people, including two Iranian Generals.Two weeks later, the skies over Israel lit up with a counterattack.It might seem like in this conflict, anything goes, but each response and retaliation is a calculated move.Israel knew the attack was coming and almost every drone and missile was intercepted.So, when the game of chess begins, how does it end?Last time the revenge cycle started to turn, Donald Trump was in the White House, and the wheel only stopped because of a tragic mistake.This time, Israel's response could change the trajectory of the conflict in the Middle East.Subscribe to If You're Listening on the ABC Listen app.Check out our series on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_dbh10orQc
